Returning to Jerusalem is a novel by Jan Surasky, author of the 2012 award-winning Rage Against the Dying Light, a story about Boudicca and her battle with the Roman Empire. Returning to Jerusalem is another novel about the battles faced by women living in the 1970s. Jenny Thompson is located in the small town of Jerusalem, New York, and grew up on her family farm, just a few hours from New York City. Jenny is very talented, dreaming of going to college and pursuing the life of a successful artist. However, like many young women of her time, Jenny felt the pressure of her mother and society to put her dream on hold. Women of this era are expected to marry well, have children, and support their husbands as they climb the ladder of success.
Jenny is very beautiful, compassionate and very talented. Bud proved that he is not the best husband, nor the best father. She wants a more caring and fulfilling life. She moved to New York City. There, Jenny struggled, but over time, she built a successful life for herself and her beloved son. She is known for her beautiful landscapes and photography.
In New York, Jenny saw the collision of culture and found a way to side by side without problems, not dramatic. She remembered Jake Martin, his childhood friend and playmate. Jack is a Mennonite. She remembers how great a person Jack is and how he dreamed of becoming a returning lawyer. He wants to help the poor. Jack is significant to Jenny's growth, but her world and his world are not accepted by her mother and her Methodist Church. Her mother will never approve. The question is, is her road and Jack crossed again? And, if they did, did he motivate her and her as long ago? When Jack's photo appeared on the cover of the New York Times, Jenny dreamed of them, but learner Jack had a fiancé. If the couple find each other again, they must intervene in fate.
Jan Surasky created Back to Jerusalem as another great book. Through Jenny, this novel accurately depicts the dilemma of women's strong grasp of society in the 1970s and their expectations. The liberation of many women is progressing slowly. Jenny lived her life as much as she could in a traditional way. It was hard, but she recovered her talent as an artist. She has achieved success in all aspects, and she has done it all by herself. One thing she lacks is true love and satisfaction. The question is, if she returns to Jerusalem, will she find it? To find out, you must read it.
This novel is actually a love story, written in a narrative that tells those who are romantic, those who desire a little mystery, and those who look for real things in life. This book is a book for any woman who is successful in the face of a society that should not be tried. Moreover, returning to Jerusalem is an encouragement to women everywhere and never give up on their dreams.
